PEACE

?Can war be ended?

                                  PEACE

WHY?

I write poetry calling out for peace.
People tell me it not possible.
War is part of man nature.

REASONS

To fight for oil, land and religion.
To send young Soldiers to fight for unknown reasons.
A eye for a eye world.
Where no-one will win in the end.

Nuclear weapons.

Many places in our world have weapons of mass destruction.
In the past 20 years. The weapons were almost used in vast populations.
Will it take a million screams for the human race to seek peace.

Forgiveness and love.

Israel threatening Iran.  When the lamb become the bull. Who is the lamb?
USA took down a strong and powerful country. Iraq.  Who won this battle?  A region in
dismay because of a hateful man name Bush.

Guns cannot create peace. Conversation and knowledge of history can fix problems.  Men with greed as
their purpose will lead us to a bad death.

Today world is centered on hate, revenge and death. No-one can win.

My final question?

Do you want your child to die in war?
Do you want to watch your son or daughter to march off to war and fight for religion?
To fight to change a old land set in their ways.

I believe we must defend our borders.
USA had not been attacked by another country since WW2.
Terror like countries to attack for no reasons.
Make them have purpose and value.

Go after the terrorist directly. 
No winners in wars fighting ghosts.
Need ghosts to find ghosts.

Pray for peace.
I don't want to be the Grandfather taking his Grandson to deploy for war.
Do you want to send your child to die for undeclared war in too many places?

It is astounding that people cannot work together
to preserve a beautiful world with treasures unearthed
and musical talent rebirthed. As seeds of love are planted...
may the roots grow deeper.. and we all will be keepers of a
divine intervention. Amen. ... truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

I pray everyday for the world to gain sanity. Two of my grandchildren are 10 years old. What did we leave them? Thank you Pat for reading and the comment.

I just came to the realization that humans are such great orators and really we are smart, but we are to stupid and proud to talk things out. It really is possible. I join in on this battle cry.

[Renée]

I join your voice Coyote as fist pound the ground..and I don't understand why we can't be heard..and yet..I know why.... Oh how we need Wise elders that work together for the good of all...not politicians ..

This should be the heartbeat of everyone. We fight for the wrong reasons here in the good ol' USA. Our government dispenses the kool-aid and the population slurps it down with a smile... Christians, who should be following teachings of peace and love, are at the forefront. They have their "infidels" to destroy as well... Why can't we all just get along?

[Pax]

not but its just a sparks of war that is comming. Its really a sad reality/truth. People are greedy, its a mortal sin. Your voice is heard but still there are still
so many to tell..But all in all we keep our hope and faith intact that everything will be alright in the end. great job.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A good thing to pray for, is peace.

[Eloha]

I wonder if in the future war will be fought by machines and mind-control, rather than anything so final as death of our children.

If you look at consumerism and advertising, I think this has already occured. In a way, the manipulation of our government of our masses, is a kind of war that also concerns me.

Nice topic Coyote.

Coyote, Value and purpose, the weight of words,a world without borders,our world ,Lend the weight of our abilities, spotlight the future we want,let truth ring rattle roar , give all children the skill sets to do ,to think, to empathize ,to be graceful ,compassionate, to be accountable, to be independently together.Thank you for reminding me to Pray.

My answer is NO!
I have a son and I can not imaging him going off to fight for the causes you have listed above and I can't think of any other reasons good enough.

I understand the need to defend ones self, but declaring war on another country for profit or for different beliefs seem immature. The human race in the year 2012 is still immature. I hope we (the entire world) will grow up sooner than later, for the sake of our children.

I totally agree Coyote, what a genuine realistic write, describing Mothers Earths dilemma at this present time, all is not lost, 2020 is very very significant, I thoroughly enjoyed your writing:)) Moonbeam.
